Hi, I am a newbie for CXF. I started exploring it as a potential framework for implementing web service based application. I am ok with most of the stuff with CSX but for its heavy dependency on Spring framework. I am aware about the availability of bus and NonSpringServlet approach and would like to explore it further. The forum says that most of the advanced cases will require spring or doing a lot of low level API programming to get it configured. That means I cannot keep away with Spring if I want to harness the real potential of CXF framework :-(.
With the new http://www.springsource.com/products/enterprise/maintenancepolicy SpringSource Enterprise Maintenance Policy , it looks like non subscribed spring developers(I believe there are many of them) are going to have a hard time identifying a stable spring release, as the spring source will issue maintenance updates for three months period after a new major version of Spring is released. My understanding of the policy may not be 100% correct, but if it is correct, then how CXF is planning repository management for Spring versions? The question is more serious for an Ant based project as the dependencies have to be managed manually there. Will CXF bundle a stable Spring release along with the jar distributions for CXF framework in the future or will it rely on Maven to resolve the Spring dependencies for a particular stable release? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Potential-impact-of-SpringSource-Enterprise-Maintenance-Policy-on-CXF-tp19833297p19833297.html Sent from the cxf-dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
